a writer i'm Harper's Bazaar. Divide
the company into two or three /
parties, according to number; send
ing one division into an adj
joining room, where they should be
arranged i'm a semi-circle, the larger
chairs, 10 decrease the height. and
he smaller ones vice versa; care
.ully enwrap each one i'm a sheet, /
eaviug only the eyes uncovered. but
tlie dress 80 entirely that
Z il even matter OF conjecture
whether 10 be a man or a woman.
When the wrapping has been ar
'anged each mummy must keep il
n Plsce hy the hand, AMI when all
ire ready the other division comes
n aud guess to whom the eyes
elonE. II gives one a very uncanuy
ceiling to have a pair OF questioning
yes peering into ones own, and the
isguise l. - complete those that are
earest and dearest are not often
When all have had q
uess throw OFF the sheets ami let
he other divisions change places
util all have been alterna ely
uessed and mummied. This game
lay be varied by stretching heavy
lper in which groups OF eye slits
ave been cut, across the open
oorway. For econOmy's sake we
lsted together the large, almost
effect sheets that dry goods come

iaRts willingly gave Us; have it
